Project 1 Reflection

In this project, project 1, I was tasked in making a sarcastic website with a topic of my choice. The topic I chose was socioeconomic status. In my website I made 4 web pages sarcastically. The 4 pages consisted of attire, food, housing and of course health care. When I first started this project the first thing on my mind was how was I going to pull something good off and how was I going to effectively present it. For each page I tried my best create a background that would go well with the theme of the page. In each page it Is made so that it compares the life style of someone who lives  in Chelsea, Manhattan as opposed to someone who lives in Queens bridge.








For the attire page I compared rich vs poor in the way that people who are rich are dressed in business attire with special brand clothing. I noted that who cares what people? There is no difference, it's all clothing. Despite this the reality is that there definitely is a difference, there will always be people who are affected by how one dresses. Brooks brothers is completely different from old navy.

For the housing page I compared rich vs poor in the way that rich people live in nice lofts and houses in Chelsea, Manhattan while poor people, unfortunately live in run down houses in Queens bridge.  I basically note how they are both homes, what's the difference, the only thing is that one has a safe neighborhood guaranteed while the other has huge risks. I presented this sarcastically because the fact of the matter is that this indeed is a serious issue.

For the food and healthcare page there are a bunch of things to consider, I made the backgrounds to go with the theme of what the page was about. The health care page  has first aid symbols all around to show its about health and the food page is all about food of course so I chose a picnic table kind of background. Though this projects asked me to use html, css AND Java script unfortunately I was too focus on the content as opposed to the code that my alignment could have been better and I di not add css or java script. I will keep this in mind for the future so that I can improve.
